My thoughts

On the internet? In general I take someone that spells “God” with a capital to be a theist (usually only 2 of 3 monotheistic believes, because Muslims usually use “Allah” probably). Or perhaps raised as a theist, lost their faith, but not bitter against their old faith. while if someone uses “god” they are probably not a theist.

Makes sense to me too: I as a theist would refer to “Thor” as a “god” because to me it is not an entity that exists. It would only make sense for someone that is an atheist to not use a capital to refer to my “God”: They don’t believe it to be a real entity after all.

E: although, I guess fictional characters do use capitals, so maybe I’m wrong.

Early testsresults in the Netherlands have shown great succes. Less cyber bullying, more socializing by students, and better engagement in classroom. The students actually prefer it too.

I thought it was stupid too, but I’ve come around to it. A box full of dopamine hits is not for teenagers to decide wether they can interact with it or not.

But every day ends wi… oh. OH.

I know this is just a showerthought, but what do you define as religion? The term religion doesn’t necessarily need a God.

Or do you mean the 3 mainstream monotheistic religions? (Christianity, Judaism, Islam)

Thrift stores are your friend for bluray and dvd players.

Tape Decks can be aquired there too, but are a bit more prone to damage in the components.

About a year ago, I started buying DVD’s from thrift stores. I rip them all and put them on my Plex server. I recently aquired a Bluray player and starting to collect those too. Since those take up MUCH more diskspace, I only watch bluray with the physical disk (storage in Europe is unfortunately more expensive than in the USA)

I also started collecting CD’s again (mostly from thrift stores too). I rip these to FLAC and also put them on my Plex.

The beauty of this system for me is that I still have to physically flip through stuff to build my collection. Since it takes up physical space, I limit myself to stuff I actually really want to see/listen to. But by digitizing it, I have the advantage of having acces to that curated content everywhere. The added timesink of ripping and metadata correcting gives me more satisfaction and appreciation for what I bought. A sense of pride and accomplishment, if you will.

So I buy Physical to make sure the collection stays curated and manageable, but digitize most of it for the convenience.

Due to the appreciation of my collection, I now watch more movies and listen to more music than when I had acces to netflix or Spotify.

This.

It is planned feature for Gimp 3 I believe, hopefully it will be implemented well.

But for now, people that aren’t professional graphic designers should really stop recommending Gimp as a viable replacement. It is a very capable piece of software, but too many professional-grade features are missing.

And it’s never only about Photoshop either. It is the integration that the suite has. Illustrator to Photoshop to Indesign is (mostly) seemless.

I’m currently trying to switch to foss alternatives, but it’s rough.

Can someone explain why MacOS always seems to create _MACOSX folders in zips that we Linux/Windows users always delete anyway?

I have the OG 46 mm (since its launch) and still charge it only about every 3 days.

Mostly use it to track steps, check time (obviously) and skip songs on my phone.

Yeah, I just upgrades my CPU, and even on my old one everything worked fine.

One more question though: why go the VM route instead of dualbooting? I guess mostly so you still have acces to all Linux stuff while using Windows?

How is the performance on a VM? I use Windows for VR and Musicproduction. Like 10%, 20% performance dip?

I like that RTFM can also stand for Read The Fucking Manpage.

We have tests done in our schools in the Netherlands right now and the early results are that it has a positive effect. Students talk to eachother more, say they have more fun during breaks. Also that they can concentrate better on their schoolwork.

It goes to the question “geek?” Which then can be answered as “hobbyist” or “yes”, but the half circle makes it weird. That’s how I read it, but if you choose hobbyist you indeed get into an argument of “WHAT AM I?”

Edit: oh, the yes and no are UNDER the question if you’ve used Linux. The No on the left comes from another branch. Pfff, just woke up, now I even see you said exactly that. I need coffee…

I will never not read “AI” as “Al”(with an L) . Makes it more goofy, so less scary.

I think it’s because our brain can’t really focus on both content and spelling at the same time. You can only really check either the message or the spelling at one time when you are the author.

When you check the message/content of your post, you look at every sentence and ask yourself: does it convey my point? Did I choose the right words?

When you check spelling, you should check word by word without looking at the meaning(unless spelling depends on it). Since you know what’s coming next in your story, you’re probably just rushing through the sentences. You’ll miss stuff because you don’t read every word. It is the classic “the the” problem where the same word is shown twice in a sentence, but you miss it because you only fastread it.

Also, spell check last. If you spellcheck first and then do some rewriting, the new stuff will have a high chance of spelling errors.

I just stuck a few ubiquity access points all around the house. Works great, office-grade stuff.

Lemmy! The place where everything is made up, and the points don’t matter!

Or, like, use bitwarden or something to do it for you.
